Real-time price estimation

Automano's price estimation isn't just a simple Argus quote lookup. Our algorithm analyzes active listings on LeBonCoin, La Centrale, and AutoScout24 in real-time to reflect the true market price. Most importantly, it adjusts the estimate based on the vehicle's actual history — a 308 with a declared claim isn't worth the same as a 308 with a clean history.

Automano Score /100

The Automano Score is a unique indicator that synthesizes the entire analysis into a single number out of 100. It combines three dimensions: vehicle physical condition (40%), the ratio between asking price and real value (35%), and model historical reliability (25%). A score of 90+ means an excellent deal. Below 40, run.
